Bengaluru : The Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) on Friday, May 30, announced a ban on the release of Kamal Haasan’s upcoming film ‘Thug Life’ in the state after the actor did not apologise for his Kannada-Tamil remark that sparked a controversy.
Sa Ra Govindu, representative of KFCC, said that they have decided to ban the release of Kamal Haasan starrer ‘Thug Life’ in Karnataka.
The KFCC representative said the decision to ban ‘Thug Life’ was taken as they stand firm with Karnataka Rakshana Vedike and other Kannada organisations for their demands of halting the release of the film until the actor issues a pubic apology.
Justifying the ban on ‘Thug Life’, the KFCC representative said the actor has not yet issued an apology for hurting the sentiments of the people in Karnataka so a decision was taken to ban the film.
He said, “When there is pressure, I have to do. Even Karnataka Rakshana Vedike were present; whatever they say, we should do it. Even they would speak about it. Definitely, there is no ‘Sorry’ term being specified anywhere by Kamal Hassan.”
“We will surely not release the film. We [KFCC] will stand with Rakshina Vedike and other Kannada organisations,” he said.
The fim chamber had earlier given two days to Kamal Haasan to issue an apology for his remarks.
